From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2012 13:05:14 +0000 (+0200) Subject: task_work: add a scheduling point in task_work_run() X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f341861fb0b;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git task_work: add a scheduling point in task_work_run() It seems commit 4a9d4b024a31 ("switch fput to task_work_add") re- introduced the problem addressed in 944be0b22472 ("close_files(): add scheduling point") If a server process with a lot of files (say 2 million tcp sockets) is killed, we can spend a lot of time in task_work_run() and trigger a soft lockup.
